There was a similar discussion last week, maybe you can get some ideas from it: https://www.houzz.com/discussions/help-for-exterior-cedar-siding-trim-color-dsvw-vd~661559

None of the above - I love prairie, desert or mountain scapes. The water photos are too "cold" looking (I've experienced both - I still feel chilled when I think of it), the mossy forest is a bit creepy (beautiful but creepy) and I'm not fond of having humans on my wall - even if it is as minimal as a child's hand holding a dandelion (the sky in that photo is to "cold" looking - like a cold fall day). That's just me. They are all great photos. Just not my style.

Get the professional sander guys in to repair the living areas and kitchen but don't go too dark with the stain as it will kill the lovely grain in the matai. I'm thinking a couple of tones richer than the timber knots showing in your photo, definitely no yellow tone at all. In NZ stepping on to carpet especially in a kiwi winter is so much nicer than a cold floor board shock!!! A nice area rug for the lounge and you're done.

If you think hitting the lamps could be an issue, just move them a bit and add some low accessories (opposite sides to pic below). It's better to have a bit larger lamps and with your ceiling height anything shorter would look skimpy and they don't overwhelm the bedside tables once you balance with something above the bed. Just a thought...if you accessorize your bedding with some soft colors, they will also help to compliment the glass and crystal. You could even change the hardware to a silver.
